The S. Mission Beach Volleyball courts are open for pickup games during most daylight hours, with the
exception of scheduled tournaments, which are occaisionally held there. Anytime is a good time to play.
If you would like to play competitive pickup volleyball, the best times are 2:00 PM till sunset Tuesday-Thursday,
Saturday and Sunday mornings 8:00AM-1:00PM. All courts are now using new court lines, and play is usually rally
scoring* to 21 with let serves** allowed, but if you
bring your own lines you can set up a court for classic play with the old ball and side-out
scoring***
*Rally scoring indicates that every play results in a point regardless of who served the ball.
** A let serve is a serve that hits the net, but lands on the receiving side,
in the field of play.
***Side-out scoring means that only the team serving the ball can score a point, and if they
fail to do so, the receiving team obtains the serve.
